Student’s April Fools prank on professor may be the best ever

A group of Aquinas College students banded together to pull off possibly the greatest April Fools’ Day prank ever.

Dr. Stephen Barrows is an associate professor of economics in his second semester at Aquinas College. The prank was inspired by Barrows’ seemingly harsh cell phone policy.

The video starts with a message:

“Our professor has a policy that if your phone rings in class, you must answer it on speakerphone.”

So the students started brainstorming a way to prank the professor.

“At first we started thinking of just really ridiculous ideas, but then we remembered the cell phone policy: ‘If your cell phone rang in class, you had to answer it on speakerphone,” Bailey Terebinski, a Aquinas College senior, told FOX17.

As shown in the video, Taylor Nefcy answers her phone on speakerphone – and the look on Dr. Barrows face is priceless.
